No baby yet

So where have I been? Well, after I finally got the rib back in place (yay!) we had a scare. Drum wasn't moving or responding, so we had a big day of midwife visits, nsts, BPPs, etc.

Come to find out little man was breech and engaged. He was so low he was stuck in my pelvic bone and couldn't move. It's like his little bottom was in a bucket.

So, I did all of the spinning baby techniques, went to the chiro everyday still and we got him out and flipped. Yay! Now I get kicks in my no longer displaced rib.

Since then it's just been trying to wrap things up with the business before I go on maternity leave. And trying to nest as much as I can without hurting myself. So far we have most of the clothes and all of the diapers washed. Next step: car seat.

Things have been crazy with both kids refusing naps now and my strong desire to take one everyday.

My water had broken with Tony at this point, so I'm halfway nervous that my water will break and halfway not in a rush to add a third into the mix. I'm cool with him staying in for right now. Lol

Tony is talking so much now (actual words, not just two-year-old gibberish), so there's always noise and chatter going on here.

And Auds and my husband have reached a compromise. Since Auds has been begging to be baptized for the past two years and has to be tearfully carried away from the baptistery at every baptism and Beau wants her to be a little older, Auds can get baptized on her 5th birthday. And she reminds him everyday, just in case he forgot their deal. I think it's the cutest thing ever.

If Drum holds off until this weekend, I'll be able to have the birth I want. Well, almost. I'd love a home birth, but our state is so weird that it's not an option for me. But, all natural and out of hospital is good for me. Now I just need to decide if I want a water birth or not.

  1. Unsolicited advice alert - DO THE WATER!! After having waterbirths, I cannot imagine having a dry one now. It's the closest thing to an epidural that you can have without actually getting one. DO IT!!!

    I'm glad to hear everything is okay. Maybe the breech thing was a blessing in disguise, because it kept Drum from kicking you in the sore ribs. But it's good he is head down now and ready to go.

    I'll be praying for you. I can't wait to see pictures of your newest little cutie!
